Apple isn't known to be the first with new things — and foldable devices are no different. We could be waiting a good few years before Apple shows off any folding tech.

With less than 8 million in annual sales from Samsung foldables, apple doesn’t really care.

To put it into perspective, apple considered the iPhone 12/13 mini to be a sales flop, but they outsold Samsung foldables.

Maybe I’ll discover a need for a foldyfone by then ?

I don't ever see myself using a folding smartphone. Let's start with the bump where the fold is. That drives me crazy. Most importantly t be honest, folding the device makes it twice as thick. That has great pocket feel, NOT.

Twice as thick, plastic screen, poor reliability and a high price for an android tablet. God bless those that picked one up .

Why do Apple have to have an answer for everything other companies do? Apple is a Trillion dollar company, selling millions and millions of smartphones each year, among other stuff. They always try to get it right, and that often takes time. Besides, I don't see that much interest in a foldable iPhone right now. I think most users know it's going to be very expensive.

Because the Apple pundits need something to complain about. It's ridiculous.
